I'm not sure this question makes sense within the context of how GCR works. When GCR compares two opponents, it uses the total of their scores in a single comparison, and it does not compare them on a game-by-game basis. But let's suppose two players play only one game together, and the higher rated player loses to the lower rated player. In that case, the higher rated player will lose points. The loss of points is determined by the difference between their ratings, by the stability of the higher rated player's rating, and by the reliability of the score, which for only one game is its lowest at 25.
